Best Ways To Show Off Your James Hardie Siding

Categories:

James Hardie siding is the ideal siding choice for homes in Colorado where it must withstand both hot and cold weather extremes. Its durability and strength make it a popular option for homeowners, and it looks great too!

Siding is one of the first things people notice about your home, so show yours off with these tips for making the most of your James Hardie siding and enhancing your home’s curb appeal.

Clean Your House

Make sure the unique texture and color of your James Hardie siding shows through by washing your home’s exterior regularly. Outdoor dirt and grime dulls the finished look of great siding and the overall appearance of your home. Get out the power washer or rent one from your local hardware store and spray your way to a beautiful home!

Do Landscaping Right

Don’t let the natural elements of your yard detract from the style of your home. Overwhelming or unkempt landscaping will block the view of your house, while lack of landscaping will make your property look boring. Trim back overgrown bushes and trees, and keep the lawn mowed. Use borders to contain flower beds and weed regularly. A few well-placed plants and shrubs will spruce up any yard and set off your house perfectly without detracting from it.

Update Your Windows

Complement your James Hardie siding with great windows and window treatments. Replace old windows with new, or just touch up chipped and peeling trim. Add decorative embellishments like shutters or window boxes. Trade out old blinds or curtains for new in windows that are visible from the street. Perhaps easiest–if not cheapest–of all, keep your windows clean so passersby don’t have to look past smudges to admire your home.

Create an Inviting Entrance

As the entry to your home, your door is an important detail to the overall appearance of your house. To create a warm welcome for guests, as well as improve curb appeal, paint or replace your door to coordinate with the color of your house siding. If you have a porch, create an inviting atmosphere with patio furniture or a comfortable porch swing. Potted plants on the steps, a wreath on the door, or a tasteful flag are all great ways to dress up a home’s entrance too.

Brighten Things Up

It’s easy to see your home’s finer details in the daylight, but what about at night? By installing exterior lighting, you don’t have to let the appeal of your home be lost for a single minute of the day. Not only do exterior house lights add an extra measure of security and safety, they can also be used to highlight the style, color, and atmosphere of your home. Strategically placed lights can illuminate your home’s exterior and literally shine a light on all the pride and work you put into it.

Give Your Home a Siding Facelift

Finally, to truly bring out the best qualities of your home, it may be time for a siding facelift. No amount of cleaning or home improvements can boost a home’s curb appeal if the siding is discolored, warped, or otherwise damaged. If your home needs an exterior makeover, nothing will do it better than new James Hardie siding. With superior durability and a wide variety of colors, there’s a James Hardie siding product for every home!

Customer Reviews

Mainly we picked James Hardie siding because of the look. It looks really nice, it looks like you put cedar siding on without the maintenance of cedar siding. Vinyl siding just doesn’t have the allure or the finish that we were looking for.
